Apparel retailer,
Hanesbrands Inc.
), has completed the takeover of the underwear apparel chain,
Maidenform Brands Inc., for approximately $583 million. The
buyout is in accordance with Hanesbrands' acquisition
The acquisition was funded with cash and cash equivalents and
short-term borrowings through revolving credit facilities. The
revolving credit facilities are expected to be retired through

Flexees, Lilyette, Self Expressions and Sweet Nothings and
Hanebrands' market leading brands like Playtex, Bali, Just My
Size, Hanes, Barely There, Wonderbra, Champion and L'eggs under

portfolio and allow it to offer tough competition to the likes

earnings in the first 12 months. Moreover, it is expected to
generate additional revenues of $500 million, 60 cents in

million of free cash flow.

Mincing meat, which appliance do you use?
Started by indigo~ , Dec 27 2012 04:28 PM

Posted 27 December 2012 - 04:28 PM
Hi, I usually make beef mince using the food processor. Sadly, my machine has packed it in and it's time for a replacement.
It occurred to me that there might be a better way to mince meat than this. What do you use?
I've seen there is a mincing attachment for the kitchenaid...is this any good?
Posted 27 December 2012 - 04:56 PM
I use the KA attachment, I'm happy with it. If feeling lazy or wanting to mix veggies in so they can't be detected, I will throw the veggies through the mincer too.
Posted 27 December 2012 - 05:13 PM
Last year I had a choice between buying couple of KA machines and accessories or a TMX... I got a TMX and my sister got the KA stuff...she's currently selling her KA stuff and waiting for her TMX to arrive
Posted 27 December 2012 - 05:25 PM
Wow. What a coincidence! I just bought my first meat mincer no more han 4 hours ago. I bought an old fashioned heavy metal one that screws temporarily onto the bench. I loved it! Was super easy to use and clean. I ground up my leftover roast beef and have turned it into spaghetti bol for dinner tonight. Turned out great and I didn't waste all that beef, like I did 2 weeks ago lol
Posted 27 December 2012 - 06:50 PM
KA hands down for mincing. I have a thermomix and it basically shreds the meat - imagine putting a chunk of meat in a blender, that's what I think the TM does to meat. KA mincer attachment is worth the investment.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 11:23 AM
Thanks for the replies...looks like a good excuse for me to finally buy a kitchenaid
Anyone else have a recommendation for mincing meat?
Posted 28 December 2012 - 01:27 PM
You can get attachments for KA from amazon - much cheaper than here.
Posted 28 December 2012 - 03:14 PM
Are there any compatibility issues with the US attachments and an Aussie mixer?
Posted 28 December 2012 - 03:24 PM
Matchbox has an offer where you get a free mincer when you buy a kitchen aid artisan range.
Hope that helps.

QUOTE (indigo~ @ 28/12/2012, 04:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Are there any compatibility issues with the US attachments and an Aussie mixer?
I bought my attachments (except the ice cream bowl attachment), extra bowls and to date haven't had any problems with compatibility. Granted I've only bought a few things.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 07:27 PM
My Kenwood Chef came with a bonus mincer (and juicer, but I've never used that).
I think you need a mincer, either hand-powered or electrical, if you want chunky mince like you'd buy from a butcher. I'm under the impression you can put the meat through a few times if you want a finer grind, or most probably come with different grade mincing discs.

Mary Grabowski
March 29, 2013
MORAGA, Calif. - The University of San Diego softball team split their PCSC doubleheader at Saint Mary's on Friday afternoon. The Gaels took game one 4-1, before USD bounced back to claim a 4-1 victory of their own in game two.
Saint Mary's (11-20, 3-3) scored all of their runs in game one in the bottom of the second inning, the majority of which coming on a three-run home run from Fitzpatrick. SMC tacked on another run, this one unearned, when a USD fielding error allowed a run to score from second.
The Toreros (16-17, 1-5) picked up their lone run of the ball game in the top of the third on an RBI double to left field by Lauren Tomey.
Cassidy Coleman (8-8) was handed the loss for USD after throwing 6.0 innings where she allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits while striking out seven and walking one.
In game two, the Toreros mounted a late rally to earn the come-from-behind win. SMC went up 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth as both teams endured a pitching duel up until that point. The Gaels finally broke the scoreless tie with a sacrifice fly that scored a run.
USD wasted no time in answering as the Toreros used Mary Grabowski's first-career home run, a three-run shot to left-center, to take a 3-1 lead in the top half of the sixth.
The Toreros then added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on a two-out RBI single by Dana Prelsnik.
SMC got two runners on in the bottom of the seventh but Jenny Lahitte (7-9) closed the door to pick up the win. Lahitte tossed a complete game, allowing one run on six hits, while striking out eight and walking two.
Aside from Grabowski's go-ahead homer, Prelsnik (2-for-4, RBI, R) and Danielle Mavridis (2-for-3) turned in strong games at the plate for the Toreros in game two.
The Toreros and Gaels conclude the four-game series on Saturday with another doubleheader slated to start at 12 pm from SMC's Cottrell Field.

The University of Nevada, Reno (usually referred to as the University of Nevada or Nevada, and often abbreviated as UNR) is a teaching and research university established in 1874 and located in Reno, Nevada, United States It is the sole land grant institution for the state of Nevada.
The campus is home to the large-scale structures laboratory in the College of Engineering, which has put Nevada researchers at the forefront nationally in a wide range of civil engineering, earthquake and large-scale structures testing and modeling. The Nevada Terawatt Facility, located on a satellite campus of the university, includes a terawatt-level Z-pinch machine and terawatt-class high-intensity laser system – one of the most powerful such lasers on any college campus in the country. It is home to the University of Nevada School of Medicine, with campuses in both of Nevada's major urban centers, Las Vegas and Reno, and a health network that extends to much of rural Nevada. The faculty are considered worldwide and national leaders in diverse areas such as environmental literature, journalism, Basque studies, and social sciences such as psychology. It is also home to the Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism, which has produced six Pulitzer Prize winners.[4] The school includes 16 clinical departments and five nationally recognized basic science departments.[5]

The Nevada State Constitution established the State University of Nevada in Elko, Nevada in 1874. In 1881 it became Nevada State University. In 1885, the Nevada State University moved from Elko to Reno.[6] In 1906 it was renamed the University of Nevada.
The University of Nevada remained the only four-year academic institution in the state of Nevada until 1965, when the Nevada Southern campus (now the University of Nevada, Las Vegas) separated into its own university.
The national economic crisis affected the University of Nevada Reno, which resulted in the vertical cutting of several programs rather than blanket across the board cuts; however, the Fall 2011 semester saw the largest incoming class in the history of the University.
Precise name[edit]
|This section is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (August 2014)
There is some debate over whether the university should be called UNR or Nevada.[7] However, some claim that since it was the first university in the state, its historic name should be its official designation. Like Nevada, many other multi-campus public university systems such as the University of Michigan use this method. Similar to this the University of California's flagship campus of UC Berkeley is referred to as "California" or "Cal", but only for sporting purposes. Several of the university's institutions retain the institution's traditional name, "University of Nevada," including the alumni association, the student government, and the athletics department (which refers to the university's teams simply as "Nevada," a practice held since the late 19th century). When the University plays in sports against in-state rival, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the school's name is decided by the home team. When the game is held in Reno, it reads UNLV vs Nevada, however, if held in Las Vegas it reads, UNLV vs UNR. At the 2012 rivalry game at UNLV's Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, the score board read Rebels vs. Pack, completely avoiding the UNLV vs. Nevada (or UNR) debate.
In 2011, the university was ranked 181st amongst national universities nationwide as a Tier 1 University by U.S. News & World Report,[8] and internationally, the world's top 500 universities.[9]
Bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs are offered through:
Nevada sponsors a center dedicated to Basque studies (Including Basque language) due to the large Basque population in northern Nevada.
In addition, the university maintains and sponsors many centers, institutes & facilities.
The university and surrounding community is served by several campus libraries. The libraries are:
- Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center (main library). Opened on August 11, 2008 it was a $75.3 million project which began in September 2005. It replaced the Getchell library.
- Basque Library (housed in separate section of the Knowledge Center)
- Special Collections and University Archives (3rd floor of the Matthewson IGT-Knowledge Center)
- DeLaMare Library (engineering, physical sciences, computer science, mining, and geology)
- Mary B. Ansari Map Library (housed in basement of DeLaMare)
- Savitt Medical Library
- Nell J. Redfield Learning and Resource Center (education library and resources)
Rankings and reputation[edit]
|University rankings
|U.S. News & World Report[11]
|Washington Monthly[12]
Within the College of Business at the University of Nevada, the part-time MBA program was ranked 21st in the United States by BusinessWeek as of 2009.[13]
In 2012 the part-time MBA program is now ranked 4th in the United States by BusinessWeek.[14] Methodology for this ranking is described by Business Week to be their most complex of MBA rankings.[15] It is based on separate measures of student satisfaction, academic quality, and post-graduation outcomes.
This is a major accomplishment for Nevada as the part-time MBA program is now ranked above elite schools such as UC Berkeley (Haas), Rice University, University of Michigan, and University of Washington to name a few. Only Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, and Elon are ranked above Nevada in this category.
U.S. News & World Report ranks Nevada in the top 100 public institutions classifying them as Tier 1.[16]
The campus is located just north of downtown Reno overlooking Truckee Meadows and the downtown casinos.
Early construction[edit]
The university's first building, Morrill Hall, was completed in 1887 and still stands on the historic quad at the campus' southern end. The hall is named after U.S. Senator Justin Morrill, author of the 1862 Land-Grant College Act.[17]
Lincoln Hall (all-male residence) and Manzanita Hall (all-female residence) were both opened in 1896.
The Quad[edit]
The Quad is located in the southern part of the campus, surrounded by Morrill Hall and the Mackay School of Mines. This quadrangle is modeled after Thomas Jefferson's at the University of Virginia. The northern end of the Quad contains a statue of John William Mackay (namesake of Nevada's Mackay School of Mines, later renamed the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering), created by Mount Rushmore designer Gutzon Borglum. The Quad and the original campus buildings surrounding it have a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Across the campus of the university exists the University of Nevada, Reno Arboretum, which was established in 1985, contains a collection of trees, shrubs, flowers, ornamentals and native flora, including over 60 genera and about 200 species of trees, many with several cultivars present. Thirty-six mature elm trees line the Quad.
Mackay Stadium[edit]
The football team plays at Mackay Stadium, The modern Mackay Stadium was completed in 1965 with a seating capacity of 7,500. The facility has been expanded several times in the last 15 years and now seats 29,993.
Residential life[edit]
The University Of Nevada, Reno offers a variety of options to students who choose to stay on campus. There are nine different residence halls which comprise living learning communities and substance free halls. The living learning communities houses students of similar academic interests.
Since its creation in the Fall of 2008, the University of Nevada, Reno's Sustainability Committee has been gathering information on various aspects of campus sustainability and beginning the development of a plan for creating a more sustainable campus.[18] A lot of efforts are made towards recycling and keeping the campus green. Many University buses run on bio-diesel fuels. The bicycle program has seen a significant increase in the number of bicycle users. The University's Food Services has made a commitment of 1% of the meal plan revenue to go towards funding sustainable initiatives on campus.[19] In order to reduce energy use, UNR has installed solar panels on the Joe Crowley Student Union and built its first LEED accredited building.[20] The University of Nevada, Reno has been ranked among the nation's most sustainable colleges,[21] receiving an overall grade of "B+" on the Sustainable Endowment Institute's College Sustainability Report Card 2010.[22]
Though often referred to as UNR within the state, the university is simply called Nevada for athletics purposes. Its sports teams are nicknamed the Wolf Pack (always two words). They participate in the NCAA's Division I (FBS for football) and in the Mountain West Conference.
Men's basketball[edit]
In March 2004, the Wolf Pack Men's basketball team qualified for the NCAA tournament and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history. The team earned a repeat trip in 2005 and beat Texas in the first round before falling to eventual national runner-up Illinois. The team returned for 2006 as a No. 5 seed but was upset in the first round by former Big Sky Conference rival Montana. They began the 2006–07 season ranked #24. The Pack's major star during this recent period of success was Nick Fazekas. In 2007, Nevada was ranked No. 9 in men's basketball, which is the highest ranking that Nevada has ever held. Coach Mark Fox took over after Trent Johnson left in 2004 to coach at Stanford University. On April 3, 2009 it was announced that David Carter would replace Fox who decided to leave Nevada for the same position at the University of Georgia. On March 1, 2012, the Wolf Pack basketball team won against New Mexico State University for the WAC title.
The football team, currently coached by Brian Polian, plays at Mackay Stadium. The modern Mackay Stadium replaced its predecessor and was completed in 1966 with a seating capacity of 7,500. The facility has been expanded several times in its history and now seats 30,000. In 2005, Nevada won a share of the WAC Title. The 2010 season saw Nevada at its best finishing the season ranked No. 11 in the AP and No. 13 in the BCS, stunning Boise State 34-31 and costing the Broncos a possible shot at the BCS title, to win another share of the WAC Title.
Annually, Nevada's football team plays its primary rival, UNLV, for the Fremont Cannon in the Battle for Nevada. Nevada currently leads the all-time series 24-16, after beating UNLV in Las Vegas, 49-27 during the 2014 season. Nevada also plays UNLV twice a year in basketball, with Nevada winning the last 2 games and trailing the all-time seriers 57-21 overall. Nevada's two out-of-state rivals, particularly in football, are Boise State and Fresno State. In 2012, Nevada joined its rivals Boise State, Fresno State, and UNLV in the Mountain West Conference.
The Wolf Pack's mascot is an anthropomorphized wolf named Alphie, who took over the duties of cheering from his uncle, Wolfie, in 1999. In 2007, Alphie was joined by his younger brother, Wolfie Jr. In 2012, Wolfie was named Mascot of the Year. Rounding off the wolf pack family, Luna was introduced in 2013 as the sister to Wolfie Jr. and Alphie
Conference affiliations[edit]
Nevada joined the Mountain West Conference in 2012.[23]
Previous conference memberships include:
- 1992–99 – Big West
- 1979–92 – Big Sky (swapped conference affiliations with Gonzaga University, which has been without football since 1941)
- 1969–79 – West Coast Athletic – (independent for football)
- 1954–1968 – Northern California Athletic Conference
Student media[edit]
Nevada's editorially independent, weekly student newspaper is called The Nevada Sagebrush. It comes out every Tuesday afternoon, and employs more than 40 people, 25 full-time. Prior to 2004, the newspaper called itself simply the Sagebrush.
The newspaper won the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award in 2008 and 2009.[24] It was also a finalist for a Pacemaker at the 2006 and 2007 ACP student journalism awards. It has won the best of show award at the fall 2005, 2006 and 2007 ACP national conferences in its category (weekly broadsheet at a four-year university). It was also nominated for an online ACP Pacemaker in 2008. Its new web site, www.nevadasagebrush.com, which launched in the fall of 2007, has also been recognized by the Center for Innovation in College Media for it breaking news packages, podcasts, videos and general innovation and Web presence. Many of The Nevada Sagebrush's former editors go on to work and take internships at newspapers and news organizations such as The Washington Post, The Oregonian, USA Today, The Miami Herald, The Arizona Republic and the Associated Press as well as dozens of local newspapers around the country.
Insight Magazine is the only student-run magazine at the University of Nevada, Reno. Formerly Nevada's yearbook for nearly 100 years, Insight Magazine, has evolved into the second major publication circulating at the university. The first edition of Insight Magazine was published in September 2008. It presents itself as a theme-based monthly magazine, providing photography, stories and graphics, in contrast to the weekly, newspaper-style of The Sagebrush. It is put out both in print and online. The online version, UNRINSIGHT.com, provides both support for the published stories and independent content.
In its sophomore year, Insight Magazine has received national attention from major college media organizations, such as the Associated College Press and the College Media Advisers. Insight placed fifth for headline presentation in Best of Collegiate Design 2009 by the "College Media Advisers". At the 2009 ACP Conference in Austin, Texas, Insight placed fifth in Best of Show for an audio podcast.
Nevada's literary arts journal Brushfire was created by a group of students in 1950. It is released once a semester and publishes original poetry, literature, and art by students and some faculty and community members.
The university is also home to a student-run radio station, Wolf Pack Radio. The station broadcasts primarily through its website, although it comes through at 1700 AM. Starting in the Fall 2010 semester, Nevada broadcast journalism students started "Wolf Pack Week," a 30-minute television newscast that is shown around campus. Future episodes will air on PBS in Reno and Las Vegas.
There are other independent student publications on campus (although they have stopped publishing regularly since 2006), including The Nevada Blue and the Pack Patriot.

AbstractThis proposed details an innovative and powerful approach to measuring large-scale soil strain under pavement subjected to periodic loading. We propose to use Time-Modulated Ultra Wide Band (TM-UWB) impulse radar, in combination with a MEMS based passive sensor acting like a transponder embedded in the soil layer. The passive sensor is based on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology. Our proposed innovation allows for wireless and passive sensing of large scale strain (2000-20000 microstrain). The basic technology incorporated in the MEMS transponder was developed with the Center for Engineering of Electronic and Acoustic Materials (CEEAM) at Pennsylvania State University, a major source of innovation in the field of MEMS and smart sensors. For this proposal, IAI is collaborating with the CEEAM. IAI¿s extensive experience with pulsed radar application, and its unique relationship with a major innovator of pulsed radar equipment (Time Domain Corporation) mesh very well with the CEEAM¿s technological expertise. We envision applications in the automotive and biomedical fields, and in general market prospects are good for wireless sensors. In particular, the market for MEMS based devices, such as our innovation, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.3 percent through 2006.

Enid Burns | November 30, 2006 | Comments
Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, each day saw huge online sales and traffic figures. But which garnered the most?
The holiday debate among marketers this year is whether Black Friday or Cyber Monday brought more consumers online, and the argument rages on a week after Thanksgiving. Both days saw increased traffic and sales online, according to several reports, and Hitwise even threw Thanksgiving Day into the mix with an observed spike in online market share.
Research firm comScore Networks pegged e-commerce spending on Cyber Monday at $608 million, a 26 percent hike over last year.
"It's the highest spending day ever recorded online," comScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni told ClickZ. "That said, we fully expect during the week of December 12 that the record will be eclipsed."
By comparison, comScore found online retail spending on Black Friday reached $434 million, a 42 percent increase over last year's sales. To date, total online retail excluding travel for the first 27 days in November comes to $9.48 billion, which accounts for a 24 percent increase over corresponding days in 2005.
Yet online still accounts for a relatively small chunk of holiday sales. "The online channel this season will represent about 7 percent of everything consumers spend," said Fulgoni. "Offline is far bigger, but it's not growing anywhere near the rate of the online channel." He said comScore expects the holiday season to bring in $24 billion in online sales, a 24 percent increase from last year.
Since the online channel contributes to both online and offline conversions, pure traffic is another commonly cited indicator of holiday commercial vigor. It's also the focal point in the debate over whether Black Friday or Cyber Monday is the bigger deal. Nielsen//NetRatings, which trumpeted "Black Friday Trumps Cyber Monday" in a recent data release, found that unique visitors surfing from home the day after Thanksgiving were 19.2 million, compared to at-work uniques of 16.1 million the following Monday. However when you look at combined home and work audience, Cyber Monday saw close to 30 million visitors, the most unique visitors to the Nielsen//NetRatings Holiday eShopping Index. Unique visitors on Black Friday totaled 27 million.
Black Friday prevails over Cyber Monday in the extent of its growth over last year, boasting 13 percent growth in unique visitors over last year, compared with Cyber Monday's 7 percent. Incidentally, Thanksgiving Day showed 24 percent growth over 2005, and Sunday surfing to sites in the eShopping Index observed a 25 percent increase.
The blip on Thanksgiving Day was noticed by Hitwise. The Hitwise Retail 100 Index was up 13.3 percent this past Monday, but compared to Thanksgiving Day, Cyber Monday's market share of traffic was down 33.87 percent; and Black Friday traffic was down 26.29 percent compared to the day before, when everyone was apparently surfing while not checking the turkey or watching football.
"What we think is happening on Thanksgiving Day is Internet users are going online to check out sales," said Bill Tancer, GM of global research at Hitwise. "The key for Thanksgiving Day is researching offline sales, to find out what the loss-leader is in Wal-Mart or BestBuy."
Tancer noted a shift in the top stores on the Retail 100 Index. While Amazon.com reigns in the top spot for most of the year, on Thanksgiving day it was replaced by bricks-and-mortar stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy. By Cyber Monday, Amazon.com retakes its place as number one on the index.
On a more finite scale, Akamai tracked visitors per minute to an aggregated group of more than 270 global e-commerce sites it serves. In the U.S. it saw similar traffic levels on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. Each day measured about 1.8 million visitors per minute.

- Moldy Cheese Day
Radioactive Boar Roam Italy
Wikimedia/Makro Freak
Wikimedia/Makro Freak
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
A group of wild boar that had been tainted with nuclear radiation was found in Italy's Piedmont region this March, but further investigation has turned up more of the "radioactive" boar in other areas.
According to The Local, wild boar is a luxury meat in Italian butcher shops, and the wild boar is the symbol of the city of Milan. 27 wild boar in Piedmont were found to be contaminated with a radioactive isotope in March, and officials announced that they just confirmed at least two more contaminated boar in Trieste, over 500 kilometers (310 miles) away. Similarly contaminated boars are reported to have been found in Austria and Bavaria as well. The exact amount of contamination was not specified, but it was over the 600 becquerels per kilogram limit above which meat cannot be sold commercially.
According to the Agency for the Protection of the Environment, the radioactive contamination is likely due to fallout from the Chernobyl 1986, but the Ministry of Health says there is no reason for people to be concerned by the discovery. In order for a person to experience negative effects, he or she would have to eat 10-15 kilograms of meat tainted at a level of 5,000 becquerels per kilogram, which the ministry said was "highly improbable."
"The situation should not arouse excessive worry among the population," the Ministry of Health said in a statement.

Perfect for use in Baking Alexis from Vienna, VA on 05/19/2015 – Verified Buyer
I bought this and I wasn't sure how I would like it, but I love it! Perfect for making me scones and pie crusts (they have to be rolled out to a specific amount of inches in diameter) Also I like that it gently sticks to the counter surface so it's not moving but not hard to remove from the counter either. It's easy to clean, just soap and water and the hand measurement conversions aren't a bad touch! I love it, used it 3 times this week (Cinnamon Chip scones, pie crust for a Red Pepper Goat Cheese Tart, and blueberry scones, YUM!) Pros: Easy to clean, good amount of measurement options, conversions of all types, and stays in place when using it. Cons: Wish they had the 7" diameter but it was easy to estimate.

Totally cool Sabine from Peoria, AZ on 02/10/2015 – Verified Buyer
This is my best buddy in the Kitchen for making pizzas, breads, pasta or anything that involves dough. The measurements are great and help so much to make the same size pizzas. The mat does not slip and your counter stays pretty much clean because it is just the right size for my counter. Definitely highly recommend it.

Love it!!! Mary from New Kensington, PA on 09/16/2014 – Verified Buyer

- Step 1: Confirm Your Attendance
The journey to enrolling at CCA all starts here with your intent to enroll. Please confirm your attendance for the fall semester by May 1; spring semester by November 1 (or within two weeks of your admission offer, whichever is later).
To confirm your attendance, submit your nonrefundable $265 enrollment deposit ($115 registration fees; $150 enrollment) online using WebAdvisor or send a check via postal mail using the Intent to Enroll form included with your acceptance letter.
Login to your WebAdvisor account using your username and password. Fr
om the Prospective Student menu select Student Finance to make your online deposit. (Email email@example.com If you cannot remember your WebAdvisor username or password.)
Join CCA's student Facebook communuity. This private portal allows admitted undergraduates to meet online, prepare for orientation, and start off the first year at CCA already a community member.
Check your email for your invitation to join. Email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
- Step 2: CCA Email and New WebAdvisor Account
Twenty-four hours following the processing of your $265 enrollment deposit, you will receive an email with instructions on how to establish your new CCA email account and password and new WebAdvisor account. (Note: WebAdvisor requires a different login procedure from that used in the application process.)
Use the "Activate Student Account" link found at accounts.cca.edu. Once activated, you'll immediately be able to send and receive email. Once created, all CCA email will be sent to your CCA email account.
Your new WebAdvisor account will allow you to access your online student records and to apply for housing.
- Step 3: Financial Aid Offer (Review/Accept)
If you have applied for aid, or met the priority deadlines for fall applicants, an aid award will follow shortly after your offer of admission.
After you have reviewed your award. Please return the enclosed page indicating your acceptance of the aid offer, along with any outstanding document.
- Step 4: Campus Housing
The online housing application portal for new students will open April 15. Students must have submitted the nonrefundable enrollment deposit and official intent to enroll form prior to applying for housing.
Completion of the housing process requires a $600 housing deposit to reserve your space.
Students who submit a complete housing application and housing deposit on of before May 15 will receive priority housing placement. If submitted after May 15, students then participate in stand-by housing placement.
If you are seeking housing for the spring term, offers of housing will be extended as space becomes available. All housing offers will continue to be made until we have reached our standard occupancy capacity.
- Step 5: Get Registered
The early registration process takes place in June for fall semester and in December for spring semester.
For fall enrollment, you may participate in early registration once you have submitted a tuition deposit.
For spring enrollment, you need to make a tuition payment in order to participate in early registration. (See "Make Your Payments" for details and payment deadlines).
You will be contacted via your CCA email address by June 1 for fall semester and by December 1 for spring semester with instructions and deadlines for the early registration process specific to your program and level.
All incoming students are encouraged to participate in early registration. If you are unable to do so, a late registration opportunity exists during New Student Orientation.
Prepare to Register
It is in your best interest to submit all standardized test scores, high school transcripts, and college transcripts as applicable as soon as possible to be registered in the appropriate courses.
The deadline to submit final test scores and transcripts is August 1 for the fall semester and December 15 for the spring semester. See the following pages for more details about Transfer Credit and Test Scores:
Transfer Credit
Advanced Placement (AP)
You are required to take the English Placement Exam prior to your first semester at CCA unless you have been waived via test scores or transcripts. (See the English Placement Exam page for details.)
Your first introduction to Academic Advising takes place at New Student Orientation.
- Step 6: Make Your Payments
In June you will receive a paper statement that will include a link and instructions for completing the student accounts billing worksheet. The form for the upcoming academic year will be available in April (see the Student Forms).
The first tuition payment and your student accounts billing worksheet for the fall semester are due August 1; the first tuition payment for the spring semester is due December 1. (The 2015-16 billing worksheet will be available after May 1.)
Online payments are offered by visiting your WebAdvisor account and following the menu path:
Prospective Students Menu/
Enrollment Deposit/
Student Finance
Or make a payment directly by logging in to WebAdvisor with your credentials. Select "Student Finance" at the "Make a Payment" screen and follow the specific instructions.
- Step 7: Health Insurance
All full-time students must have health insurance coverage. The college has secured a group health policy (a Kaiser Permanente HMO) that provides year-round coverage.
All students are automatically enrolled in CCA's Kaiser student health insurance plan unless they submit an online waiver application. (A link to online waiver site will be emailed to all students in early June.)
See minimum-coverage requirements for waiving CCA's health insurance plan.
Learm more about CCA's health insurance plan.
- Step 8: In Case of Emergency
RAVE is CCA's wireless campus-wide emergency response network to quickly inform the community about any situation that poses a threat to safety.
Log into your WebAdvisor account, select Emergency Contacts in the "User Account" section. Designate a cell phone, cell-phone provider, home phone, alternative email address, and opt in to receive SMS or voice alerts.
- Step 9: Obtain Your I-20 and F-1 Visa (International Students)
International students must obtain a student F-1 visa. Begin this process by submitting an I-20 request form and a bank statement that shows you have access to at least $61,532 to meet your educational costs for the first year.
Download the I-20 Request Form.
See the Student Visa & I-20 tab on the Application Process page for more information.
- Step 10: Attend Orientation
New Student Orientation is a required, comprehensive, and personal introduction to California College of the Arts at which you will meet other students, faculty, and staff who will become an important part of your college experience.
Expanded information about each orientation opportunity is available online.

Defect Passivation for Production-Quality and High-Bandgap CIGS and CIAS Solar Cells

Research Institution:
AbstractA major factor that detracts from the many advantages offered by thin-film flexible CIGS PV for non-terrestrial applications is that it currently provides substantially lower solar conversion efficiencies than crystalline PV technology. While CIGS device efficiencies exceeding 19% have been produced in the laboratory, efficiencies of devices produced in large-scale production have been substantially lower. Recent work has identified the presence of electronic atomic-level defects in the CIGS material as a primary factor responsible for the gap between laboratory and production efficiencies. Also, the drop-off in efficiencies with increasing bandgap has been attributed to a higher density of defects serving as recombination centers or a higher sensitivity to such defects. Such defects must be eliminated or passivated to achieve the potential of CIGS technology. While all manufactures of CIGS have put considerable effort into minimizing formation of defects through optimizing process parameters, another approach to controlling defects is to "passivate" them by adding constituents that eliminate their electronic activity or alter it in a way that reduces the detrimental effect. ITN Energy Systems, Inc. proposes to conduct a thorough study of defects and potential defect passivation methods in production-quality CIGS and high-bandgap CIGS and CIAS (copper-indium-aluminum-diselenide).
